Teachers for Teresa

I’m sure it is rare if there is anyone out there reading
this post who has not heard of Teachers Pay Teachers, better known as TPT.Not only is it a great site for teachers to share
their wonderful teaching ideas, it is also a place of true heartfelt kinship with
other teachers and many of the teachers form virtual bonds with each other in
friendship.This is one of those times.

One of my best friends, 2nd grade teaching buddy, fellow blogger and TPTer is in CCU in Atlanta with critical medical issues.

I asked for all of my wonderful friends on TPT to help pray for her. Prayers have been sent up for Teresa from all over the world. I truly believe that prayer can bring about miracles and Teresa is certainly in need of prayers.

These very wonderful and special teachers then began asking, "What can we do to help?"

Out of their love and concern came

Teresa has pulmonary hypertension and is experiencing complications.She loves teaching and has a wonderful sense of humor that keeps us all smiling.The most important thing we can all do for her, is to offer prayers on her behalf.Financially, you can help by purchasing one of the below packages.All of these items have been donated by her fellow TPT colleagues who wish to help across the world.

If you visit Teresa's blog you will see she LOVES all things piggy...hence all the pigs! :-)

We know how medical bills can quickly become astronomical, especially when in the Critical Care Unit. Therefore, we are offering you some wonderful deals in exchange for donations.

Thanks to everyone who purchased. This packet is no longer for sale. However, you can still purchase the units below.

In addition, several teachers have joined in another collaborative effort to form a piggy unit (Teresa's favorite kind). This unit is available on my store for $10. All proceeds will also be given to Teresa to help with financial needs.

There are also other ways you can help out also.

Here is an adorable piggy graphic set. Click on the pix to purchase. All proceeds are going to Teresa.

And grab a set a FREE piggies by spreading the word. Click on picture below for more details.

Dear Cynthia,What a great gesture - and what a wonderful packet you have put together. Thankyou for blogging about it - Teresa has been very supportive to me! (In Australia, she touches people worldwide). My thoughts and prayers are with her.AlisonTeaching Maths with Meaning

Merinda,Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I already knew TPT was a great place to be and had many wonderful friends there, but now I feel even closer to everyone. It's so good that God can bring us together even through virtual friendships!!!

You are doing such a great thing for Theresa! Thank you for organizing this. Theresa has been and will be in my prayers. I wrote a blog post urging people to pray and help her out. http://hojosteacherstore.blogspot.com/2012/11/thanksgiving-freebies-helping-out-friend.html~HoJo~

Susan,I truly believe that prayers are what has gotten her to this point. Keep those prayers going. Hope that you are much better also. If you do Pinterest, you can also help by pinning about it:Here is one pin - for the Piggy Packethttp://pinterest.com/pin/68820700527288118/

Thank you for doing this for your friend. She is in our thoughts and prayers. Please keep us updated on her progress. It might be a good idea to let everyone know that any donation, no matter how small, will be accepted, too, for some people might want to help but not need the packet. They get the packet if the donation is $25 or more. :) Hope this will help raise money quickly for her medical costs!

Cynthia- This is extremely sweet of you! What a great friend you are!! I just blogged about Teachers for Teresa and made my own purchase. Teresa will definitely be in my prayers and thoughts. Please keep us updated with how she's doing.
